Just joined, thought I'd say "Hi". I'll be uploading some car show photos, feel free to rummage around them, plenty of nice cars and bikes, and maybe a few girls here and there. I'm still browsing around the site, seeing what's what. Seems like a great place so far.

How much do you touch up your pictures before you post them? What is it that you do? they almost look fake in some sense. Kind of like a pixar movie screen shot in some cases. It's a really cool effect not to diminish the quality of the picture. I just haven't seen any like that.

Not that much at all. I boost clarity to make the paint look shiny and liquid, not many other photographers really capture the way a car looks when you're standing next to it looking at it. Boosting clarity shows the detail and reflectivity that you see when you look at the car. That's my hook; people want images of their cars to look like their cars, not flat and colorless with no detail. I make their car look the way it's supposed to look.
Some shots do end up a little over-done, but for the most part people love the shots. It all depends on the light for the day and how I shoot the cars, plus the color of the car. Bolder colors, like bright reds and oranges, sometimes come out a bit harsh, but I've managed to keep it to a minimum so shots don't come out looking cooked.
